What is Algebra ?


Let me help you on math help & study what is algebra,

Algebra is a branch of mathematics. Algebra plays an important role in our day to day life.

The algebra executes the four basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The most important terms involved in algebra expressions, equations and polynomial.

In Algebra, besides numerals we use symbols and alphabets in place of unknown numbers to make a statement. Hence, algebra may be regarded as an extension of Arithmetic.
you get more help in math and online math help in our blog posts.

Area and Perimeter of a Concave Polygon



Area and Perimeter of a Concave Polygon

Unlike a regular polygon, there is no easy formula for the area of an irregular polygon. Each side could be a different length, and each interior angle could be different.

so we have to split concave polygon as triangles or parallelograms or other shapes that easy to find area . here is the example on how to calculate the area of concave polygon. in this example we could not directly find the formula for finding area but we can split this concave polygon as two parallelogram then we could find area easily by using formula for area of parallelogram .

* The perimeter of any polygon is the total distance around the outside.
* which can be found by adding together the length of each side.

I hope the above explanation was useful, now let us study words with x in them

Explain Ration in math


Let us study How to do ratios,

Definition for ratios:


In mathematics, a ratio expresses the magnitude of quantities relative to each other. Specifically, the ratio of two quantities indicates how many times the first quantity is contained in the second and may be expressed algebraically as their quotient.


Example:
For every Spoon of sugar, you need 2 spoons of flour (1:2)
I hope the above explanation was useful.

Math definitions for kids



Math definitions for kids:Addition means sum of two quantities. The sign used to do addition is ‘+ ‘.

If Joe has 2 black pencil and 3 blue pencil means then the total number of pencil is

2+3 that is 5 pencils.
Subtraction:

Subtraction means difference of two quantities. The sign used to do subtraction is ‘– ‘.

If Kayla has 5 rupees and she spent 2 rupees in a store then the amount she has left in a hand is 5-2 that is 3 rupees.
Division:

Division means sharing a number into equal parts. The sign used to do division is ‘/’.

If a mom has 6 chocolates and then if she wants to give those chocolates to 2 children means, then it is 6/2 that is 3 .So she will give 3 chocolates to each child.
Multiplication:

Multiplication means a number is added to itself a number of times. The sign used to do multiplication is ‘x’ or sometimes ‘*’.

2+2+2=6 which is same as 3 times 2 which is equal to 6.In maths we also learn multiplication with the help of time table chart.Hope you like the above example of Math definitions for Kids.Please leave your comments, if you have any doubts.

Percentage Change Calculator



Percentage Change Calculator:A percentage change is a way to express a change in a variable. It represents the relative change between the old value and the new one.

The formula used to calculate the percentage change is Percentage change = [((V2 - V1) / (V1)) * 100] .

V1- represents the old value

V2 - the new one.There are many online calculators available for calculating percentage change.
Percentage Change Calculator - Example Problems:

Let us understand the meaning and example problems related to Percentage change calculator - Problem 1:-

Ram scored 86 runs in the cricket match on Monday. On Friday he scored 95 runs. Calculate the Percentage of change?

Solution:-

Given

V2 = new value = 95 runs.

V1 = old value = 86 runs.

Percentage of change = ?.

The formula used to calculate the percentage change is

Percentage change = [((V2 - V1) / (V1)) * 100] .

By plugging in the given values in to the formula we get

Percentage change = [ (95 - 86) / (86) * 100] .

The difference between 95 and 86 is 9.

By plugging in it to the formula we get the answer as

= [9 / 86] * 100.

The fraction 9/ 86 gives us 0.1046.

=0.1046 * 100

=10.46

The percentage of change is 10.46.In the next Blog we will discuss about Radical calculator.Hope you like the above example of Percentage change calculator.Please leave your comments, if you have any doubts.
